ChatGPT Study Mode Aims to Circumvent the Brain Atrophy Problem With AI in Education

cnet.com See Full Bio 2025-12-25 09:00:03

ChatGPT Study Mode is a new function within the artificial intelligence chatbot that aims to give students a more natural learning experience rather than simply answering questions for them, the company announced Tuesday. Whereas typing in a question or topic into ChatGPT returns a textbook-style summary, Study Mode works with students, step by step, to help them come to the correct answer on their own. Students can chat with ChatGPT to gain better clarification on things they don't understand,

ChatGPT’s new Study Mode is designed to help you learn, not just give answers

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-12-25 10:00:34

The rise of large language models like ChatGPT has led to widespread concern that "everyone is cheating their way through college," as a recent New York magazine article memorably put it. Now, OpenAI is rolling out a new "Study Mode" that it claims is less about providing answers or doing the work for students and more about helping them "build [a] deep understanding" of complex topics. Study Mode isn't a new ChatGPT model but a series of "custom system instructions" written for the LLM "in col

OpenAI launches Study Mode in ChatGPT

techcrunch.com Maxwell Zeff 2025-12-25 21:00:00

OpenAI announced Tuesday the launch of Study Mode, a new feature within ChatGPT that aims to help students develop their own critical thinking skills, rather than simply obtain answers to questions. With Study Mode enabled, ChatGPT will ask users questions to test their understanding, and in some cases, refuse to offer direct answers unless students engage with the material. OpenAI says Study Mode is rolling out to logged in users on ChatGPT’s Free, Plus, Pro, and Team plans starting Tuesday. T

OpenAI’s ChatGPT Agent casually clicks through “I am not a robot” verification test

Maybe they should change the button to say, "I am a robot"? On Friday, OpenAI's new ChatGPT Agent, which can perform multistep tasks for users, proved it can pass through one of the Internet's most common security checkpoints by clicking Cloudflare's anti-bot verification—the same checkbox that's supposed to keep automated programs like itself at bay.

This isn't remotely far-fetched; lots of people are already getting legal assistance from AI, on everything from divorce proceedings to parking violations.

AI companies like OpenAI and Perplexity like to be the "everything company," and OpenAI's latest ChatGPT feature, "Shopping," makes that obvious. Financial Times recently reported that ChatGPT is testing a new shopping feature where you could buy products directly from the app. When ChatGPT 'converts' sales for merchants, OpenAI gets a percentage of the revenue.

ChatGPT users may want to think twice before turning to their AI app for therapy or other kinds of emotional support. According to OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, the AI industry hasn’t yet figured out how to protect user privacy when it comes to these more sensitive conversations, because there’s no doctor-patient confidentiality when your doc is an AI.

OpenAI is rolling out a new "personality" feature on the ChatGPT web app. This allows you to choose between multiple personalities, such as "Robot."
